Descalers

Descalers are specialised cleaning agents used to remove limescale and mineral build up that accumulates on surfaces exposed to hard water such as kettles, coffee machines, dishwashers, or showerheads, reducing the efficiency and efficacy of these appliances. Descalers may have hazard pictograms on the packaging. Visit our UK REACH page for more information and expertise.

When selecting a descaler, you should consider the duty of the descaler and match it to the severity of limescale build up. Household descalers are great for regular maintenance of appliances, whereas if you need descalers for industrial applications, you'll need a heavy duty descaler. Always make sure to read the instructions on the product to ensure safety and reduce the risk of damage.
